Sevilla Director of Football Claims Deal for Leicester Midfielder Would Be 'Complicated'

Sevilla's attempts to lure Leicester City's Vicente Iborra back to the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán will prove difficult, according to the club's director of football Joaquín Caparrós.

The defensive midfielder joined the 2015/16 title-winning side in the summer of 2017, but has failed to nail down a starting berth and has subsequently been linked with a move back to his former team.

However, the man in charge of player transfers at Sevilla has said a deal would be almost impossible.

“Iborra is there. He is a player we know, but it is complicated,” Caparrós said, as quoted by Leicestershire Live,

The Spaniard has only featured for Leicester on seven occasions in all competitions this season, with five of those coming from the bench.
